Hammer Price:
£90

Three: Private T. Dexter, Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry

1914 Star (5005 Cpl. T. Dexter. D.C.L.I.); British War and Victory Medals (3-5005 Pte. T. Dexter. D. of Corn. L.I.) Star an official replacement, contact marks, nearly very fine (3) £50-£70

Thomas Dexter attested into the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry and served during the Great War on the Western Front with the 1st Battalion from 9 September 1914. The award of a clasp to his 1914 Star is annotated on his Medal Index Card, together with a note that replacement medals were issued; however, the British War and Victory Medals in this lot are, in our opinion, his original issues.

Sold with copy Medal Index Card.
